Here's one for you...and don't laugh at me, eh? :)
postmaster starts up to listen for connections, and then starts up its own
backend to handle database queries? So, on a quiet system, you would have
two processes running, one postmaster, and one postgres...
basically, the idea is that postmaster can't talk to a table, only
postgres can...so, setup postmaster the same way that any other interface
is setup...connect to a backend and pass its transactions through that
way...
